The same: the modifiers (shift, control, numlock, alt) are generally available
in most combinations for graphic terminals (and PC's) because they use a
different arrangement for transmitting key symbols to the host.
The vt100 (and similar) terminals transmit only specific combinations.
some later terminals (and emulators such as xterm) add more combinations,
but generally within the original framework. So xterm has a feature that
lets you send <alt>c as <escape>c, but does that as an alternative to sending
one of the codes in the range 160-255. (Linux console implements something
very similar to that).
A few terminal emulators do generate distinct escape sequences for modifiers
with function keys (I did this for XFree86 xterm; rxvt does - but the form
of the escape sequences is non-standard, and I've seen OS/2 do this also).
But generally it's not available.
